Chapter 5 A Chance Encounter

PreviousBack to directoryNext
There is nothing more painful than being unbearably hungry but watching the delicious food not enter your mouth. This is what Li Po thinks now.

He actually doesn't have many hobbies, but he has never gotten rid of his greedy habit.

His philosophy of life was actually fixed very early on.

A group of wives and concubines, a luxurious house and a beautiful house, etc. are the things that several veterans long for.

But Li Po was different. In the words of military leader Li Chengshun, this boy must have been reincarnated as a starving ghost. He could have nothing, but he would never skimp on food.

From the moment Li Po arrived at the military camp, several veteran soldiers also had a good time. In addition to exercising, practicing riding and archery, and sword and arrow kung fu under the supervision of several veteran soldiers, the rest of the time, the half-grown children were mostly changing.

Tossing ingredients in various ways.

Can you imagine the situation when a young man said seriously that food is the most important thing for the people, and he doesn't care about anything else, but he must not be careless about what he eats, and he must be worthy of himself?

Therefore, the three veterans all guessed that this boy must have been born in a wealthy family. Otherwise, it would be good for ordinary people to have enough to eat. How could he come up with so many tricks?

Li Po didn't care about this, he still cared about me and kept his mouth shut while working.

But now, the smell of blood in the forest may soon attract some ferocious beasts, but he still refuses to go, just because the barbecue on the fire has not yet reached the heat.

At this point, many people have said before that this is Li Po's most fatal flaw.

But Li Po is paranoid that his hobbies are no different from others, except that some people like musical instruments, some like money, some like sports, and he just likes food, so it's no big deal.

Just like now, he has been preparing for this meal for two days. Even if he pays some price for it, what's the point?

But in the end, he still didn't eat it. I'm afraid not many people can truly understand the annoyance in his heart.

The refugees left, but they didn't stop. It was as if God wanted to go against Li Po, causing accidents to happen one after another that night.

A man... appeared in the darkness, striding into the range of the fire.

Li Po stared at the barbecue, stood up helplessly, and held the handle of the knife again, even thinking fiercely in his heart that he must cut these bastards who disturb peace into pieces.

But when he stood up straight and looked at the visitor, his pupils gradually shrank.

He was also surprised. He had been wandering in the forest for many days without seeing a few people, but now it was like all the ghosts and monsters in the forest, running in front of him.

Under the illumination of the fire, the appearance of this sudden and uninvited guest was revealed.

This is a young man, and... she is a woman, to be precise, she is a girl.

Walking as if on an outing, in this dark mountain forest, you will instantly feel a strange and unspeakable feeling.

Li Po stared at the other party closely, becoming more and more uneasy. He watched her walk directly to the campfire, sit down generously, pick up the golden barbecue, twitched her delicate nose, and showed a satisfied smile.

, and began to enjoy the food that belonged to others a moment ago as if no one was watching.

A guest who is not polite treats his host as if he is nothing.

But Li Po, as the master, held the handle of the knife tightly and slowly backed away until his back was close to an old tree, then he stopped.

He was very sure that there was someone behind the tree, and he was also very sure that the people surrounding him should be no less than the refugees just now.

The subtle sounds that kept coming told him that these people were strong and light, and in any case, they were not comparable to the refugees living in the mountains.

This is a truly uninvited group of bad guests.

And the girl's outfit made him just want to turn around and leave.

The girl was wrapped in thick fur, wearing a pair of flip-up leather boots, a furry dome hat on her head, and two furry wolf tails hanging down from both sides.

Although her body was full of traces left by traveling through the mountains and forests, his attire told Li Po that this was the legendary Turkic person, and that he should be a Turkic noble.

As for why a Turkic noblewoman would appear in this land of mountains and forests, Li Po wouldn't think too much about it, because it was useless to think about it.

And those around her are probably her escorts, a group of real warriors.

Li Po looked at the darkness around him. There might be many people there already, aiming their bows and arrows at him. He quickly calculated the routes and chances of escape.

He felt that this time he might really have to pay the price of blood and even his life for his appetite.

At this time, the girl put the barbecue to her lips and took a tentative bite. She looked polite and picky, and then... she smiled broadly and chewed with her mouth open.

The forest was so quiet that even the chirping of insects could no longer be heard. Only the uninterrupted howling of wolves was still echoing.

Next to the bonfire, a girl with bright eyes like the moon was eating, her mouth was full of oil, and after a while, she stuffed a fat rabbit into her belly.

The girl licked her lips with contentment and burped with satisfaction.

Then he waved to Li Po casually, as if calling the servant beside him.

Naturally, Li Po would not go there. He just said with a smile in what he thought was the most amiable voice: "Are you full? Let's go when you are full..."

Instantly, the breathing behind the tree became heavy and rapid. This was a precursor to launching an attack, and Li Po immediately tensed up.

The girl by the bonfire blinked in surprise, and then laughed. It must be said that her smile was very beautiful, but at this time, Li Po really lacked the mood to appreciate it.

“I can speak Chinese quite well, and the food I cook is delicious, but it’s just the way of hospitality...”

The girl's Chinese was also very good, and her voice was just like her, very beautiful. As she spoke, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and a strange majesty was revealed, and her voice also brought out

It has a dark and cold meaning.

"Why can I have a full meal when I come, but when others come, they lose their lives...Okay, I will spare your life, otherwise, hum...

"

Li Po was silent for a long time, and when the girl showed a sarcastic smile, he said: "Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat. If the girl hadn't brought many people here, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to eat this meat..."

The forest became quiet again, and the girl's expression was as unstable as a bonfire.

"Sui people?"

Li Po nodded slightly, "Han people."

The girl waved her hand lazily, and there was a rustle in the forest. Many figures appeared like ghosts and gradually gathered around the bonfire. A person also appeared from behind the tree, passing by Li Po, as if he had not seen him before.

.

Li Po slowly let go of the palm holding the knife, muttering to himself, Damn it, it seems that he has really escaped a disaster. If he survives the disaster, he will be lucky in the future.

With various thoughts in my mind, my movements were not slow at all, disappearing into the darkness as quietly as a civet cat.

For Li Po, this was undoubtedly a no-brainer and rather strange encounter in the forest. However, what Li Po didn't know was that the gate of Guanlong Clan had quietly opened a gap for him.
